We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in Impact Engineering to join a team of researchers focused on investigation of pressure and strain rate dependent behaviour of composite materials for high-performance aerospace applications within the Impact Engineering Team, an integral part of the Solid Mechanics and Materials Engineering Group at the Department of Engineering Science (University of Oxford Begbroke Science Park). The post is funded by Innovate UK for a fixed-term of 1 year.

Composite Materials & Dynamics Laboratory (http://cmdl.missouri.edu/) at University of Missouri develops innovative solutions for Solid Mechanics and Structured Materials, in particular the new frontiers of structural dynamics, wave propagation, micromechanics, topological and quantum mechanics, smart materials and dynamical behaviours of multi-functional materials, both man-made and formed naturally, and understanding relationship between microstructures and material macroscopic properties.

one Post-doc and one Ph.D positions are open in Mechanics, Biomimetics, and 3D Printing lab at the University of New Hampshire.

Abstract:

https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/aab4e2 In the 50 years that succeeded Richard Feynman’s exposition of the idea that there is "plenty of room at the bottom" for manipulating individual atoms for the synthesis and manufacturing processing of materials, the materials-by-design paradigm is being developed gradually through synergistic integration of experimental material synthesis and characterization with predictive computational modeling and optimization.
